Tall whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM Doriana citizen ofthe United States, residing at Balboa, inthe Territory of Canal' Zone,Republic-of Panama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inBuildin Construction; and I do herebyde'clare re following tobe a full,clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable othersin the art to which it appertaijns to make and use the same.

This invention relates-to new and useful improvements inbuilding-construction and has for its principal object to rovide a novelmethod of constructing buil ing walls to render the same Water and airtight.

Another object of the invention, is to provide a building'wall' havinga-dead air space formed therein, which materially assists in maintainingthe interior of the building at a constant temperature.

- A still further object yof the invention is to provide ya simplifiedconstruction of wall which will render the same lire-proof as 25 well asmoisture-proof and which will facilitate land cheapen such construction.l

A still further object of the invention'is to provide an exterior'construction which will permit the user, when so desired, to change theinterior of the structure Without affecting the ,exterior in any way.

A further and more specific objectof the invention is to rovideafbuilding which is particularly a apted for use in tropical climates,whereinit is of utmost importance to keep the inner walls dry and alsokeep the interior of .buildings cool.

Heretofore it has been the practice in putting'up lbuildings of concreteconstruction to tie the inner and outer walls in Some suitable way or touse small blocks. Both of these methods have been found verydeicionsinc'e the moisture will pass from the outer wall through theconnect' means to lthe inner Wall and thus injure t e interior finish.The old type of wall is also disadvantageous for the reason that theinner structure can not be changed nor removed without disturbing theouter wall and due to the fact that it is'frequently necessary to get atthe space between the Walls in order toremove any vermin or otherfpestsof an undesirable nature, it is apparent that these walls are notaltogether satisfactory. 1

- With these and other objects in view the invention consists in thecombination and arrangement cf para. which-win be any ser forth inf thefollowing speci'cation and in' the accompanyin drawing, which:

Figurel is af rag-mentary 'view of-a wall-A constructed in accordancewith this inventionfthesame being'4 partially broken away to clearlyillustrate t e details ofl construction. Fig. 2 is a transversesectional'view taken online 2--2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontalrsectional view of a wall confstructedin accordance with this inventionand showing the same complete'. Fig. '4 is a view similar to Fig/3illustrating the wall without the finish coat, and Fig. 5 is a viewsimilar to Fig. 3 illustrating the wall without the backing coat.

Referring now to the drawings by characters of reference, the numeral 1designates the foundation or sill of'a building of 'tlie= usualconstruction, to which theuslalstds as-clearly shown'A in theYdrawings,,Y and are? arranged to support the "interior structure duringthe Lprocess of construction fof* the buildin vvxtending upwardly atspaced inte'rva s from the studs I are: vovid'cd''the angle bars 4 whichare elnbe ded in th" foundation and arearr'anged to'form support or'thewire fabric 6. angle bars 4- are stapled, wired or otherwise. secured tothe roof rafters and after'the building has completed and theAsettlement thereof` started, the angles 4:' assist in slipport" Athesuperstructure.- This v wire fabric "dA or'ms the base to whichv themi'rtur'which will'be more fully hereinafter descri d, is

applied. f

he stucco hereinbefore referred to is peferably of three coats aswill'be `more lly hereinafter described, but it isto be understood thatwhen so desired an -number of finishing coats may be applic at thedesire of the user. The first coat to be applied to the an les and wirefabric hereinbefore describe isthe scratch` coat desi nated by thenumeral 7 this, scratch coat 7 1s placed mposltion and keyed as at 8through ,l

thespaces formed by the wire fabric 6. will thus be seen that the coatwill be firmly held in place and is in readiness to receive the finisbacking coat which is designated by .the numeral 9 is then put in placeand 1s arranged so. that it adheres to the keys 8 of the scratch coatand forms a smooth surface encoat and backing coats, which will .be morefully 'hereinafter described.

there is nothing 'to convey heat, cold nor moisture across the dead'air.y space from the outer to the inner wallstructurej It isalso aImted that theouter wall structure-'being monolithic; will,4 preventvermin from infeetf ing the building' thereby rendering 'the same verminproof.I Due.
